GIS and basemap partnership to deliver global content

Open GIS company Boundless is partnering with Mapbox, a location data and mapping platform for developers. The partnership pairs Boundless’s open, flexible platform with Mapbox’s live-updating, customisable maps. Through this partnership, Boundless customers can now access high-quality Mapbox basemaps within the Boundless Connect ecosystem. The availability of this data and content through the Boundless ecosystem allows customers gains productivity and flexibility. Users can easily access this content through the Boundless Connect plugin. Mapbox content is also accessible through Boundless Suite and Exchange subscriptions. These basemaps include: Mapbox Streets (a comprehensive, general-purpose basemap used for styling transit networks), Mapbox Outdoors (a basemap with curated tilesets and specialized styling tailored for adventurous use cases such as hiking or biking) and Mapbox Light and Dark (a subtle, full-featured basemap that provides geographic context while highlighting data). Other basemaps also include Mapbox Satellite (a full global basemap, perfect as a blank canvas or overlay) and Mapbox Satellite Streets (combines Mapbox Satellite with vector data from Mapbox Streets). Additional premium services for routing, geocoding and more will be available in the near future.
